Naive question, but what is Gemini? I wonder if a lot of these models are large language models that have had image recognition and generation tools bolted on?

  Go watch some of the more recent Google developer, Google AI, and Google deepmind videos, they're all separate channels at YouTube but try to catch some from the last 6 months with some of these explanatory topics on the developer side that are philosophical/ mathematical enough to explain this to you without going into the gritty details and should answer your question

  No, the "large _language_ model" name is a misnomer nowadays. Some time ago it was indeed common to get a pure-text model and inject embeddings from a separately trained image-encoder (which generated "meh" results), but current natively multi-modal models are pre-trained with both text and images from the ground-up. That's why they are so much better at image understanding. > Gemini models are trained on a dataset that is both multimodal and multilingual. Our pre-training dataset uses data from web documents, books, and code, and includes image, audio, and video data. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11805 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11805
